Actuated ball valves have two big advantages over your standard solenoid valve, both of which have to do with not relying on a diaphragm to operate.
First, they clog far less easily because they have a simpler internal structure. If you've ever looked through an open ball valve, you'll understand how hard it is to clog them!
Second, they don't require any pressure on the inlet side to operate. Solenoid valves don't open or close right without constant pressure on them, and they can let water through even when in the closed position if they don't have enough pressure. Because actuated ball valves use a motor to open the ball gate inside the valve - instead of just tapping a pressurized diaphragm to get it to open - they can work with zero inlet pressure.

Over-gluing the socket will push glue into the valve and weld the union/ball closed. Primer or glue on the internal ball of the valve will void warranty. We recommend removing the valve from the socket end and gluing the socket and union lock ring to the pipe prior to installation of the valve. Valves need a minimum runtime of 30 seconds in order to charge the return capacitor. Failure to do so will result in the valve not fulling closing. Required amperage to open valve is 1.0 Amp at 24VAC/24VDC. Voltage will drop and stabilize at ~0.2 Amps after the ball has fully opened. Not compatible with Trolmaster OA6-24 control module. When using Trolmaster, use the OAT-24 control module with the Aqua-X Pro |
